Prom Night...To Go Or Not To Go?!?

"Liezl, treat na kita nu...pumunta ka na...kung gusto mo, ako pa driver mo! Ako bahala sa ticket for you.Gusto mo hanapan pa kita ng date eh! Wag mu silang pansinin!"
was what my Ahia Elwood told me for how many straight Friday nights on the way home from fellowship.I was already laughing for his desperate attempts to make me go and attend my prom!He even asked me what bothers me and why I wouldn't want to go...I told him everything...and then he latter on he transformed from being my cuzzin to my personal counselor!Pinagsabihan b nman aku!Hahaha...
I told him that there are so many reasons why I wouldn't want to go.
I told him that there would still be next year and all of my friends are not going anyway but he still insisted that third year was different.Well he didn't succeed in making me go...haha...even though he insisted that he'd persuade my mom to let me go...haha...and I'm happy I didn't...:-)
I never regretted not going to the prom...atleast I was still able to serve God in my songleading during last Friday's Youth Fellowship...:-) rather than go there and waste time...haha...and besides...there's next year!:-) I still have the chance to experience the same thing. :-)

Summertime, Summer Busy But Summerfun!

Official Last Day of School( Before periodical that is...:-) )

Indeed time flies fast...our last periodical for our third year in highschool is already next week! And after, it's summer vacation again! We're already graduating fourth year students in the following schoolyear!!! It's as if it were at the start of our school year as Juniors and after a blink of an eye it's already about to end! Well, this year's been a heck of a wacky year for me...Full of surprises...many happenings... smiles and laughs...problems and sorrows...busy scheds...Well, so much for that...haha... :) All I have to say is that I'm pretty shocked to see how my life moved rapidly this year! Honestly,I really thought that things like these won't come until college...But I was wrong...I'm having mixed emotions right now...Don't know if I'm gonna be happy or sad when the year ends...But through the year, I knew a lot more things...more aspects of life...maybe because of my experiences...and I'm really proud to have withstand one of my worst hardships that I encountered in my life...(I'm sure some of you know "that" ) But it's all thanks to God.Without the strength he's providing me I would have never overcomed my trials in the past. One of the weirdest experiences that I had this year was being gossiped by people in school.( by the way, di ko pa nahuli yung culprit...) Ewan k lng tlga. kung bkit ako napagusapan ng mga tao this year...ang bilis kumalat ng tsismis...grabeh...Now I know the life of a showbiz personnel...hey, but I'm not saying that I'm "FAMOUS" in school! Quote and quote! But you know, this was also the most problematic school year I had in my entire life! But I'm really thankful that I'm still in one piece...and can still manage to put smile on my face...God was my greatest strength but I also have my friends whom I can count on whenever I needed them the most.They were the greatest treasures that I have and no one could ever replace any of them.

This chapter of my life was the most adventurous and amusing of all and I thank you people who were part of it.It would forever be remembered in my heart. :-)

*God Bless sa Exams! Last na to! We can do it!:-)

16 Years of My Colorful Life

Can you IMAGINE!?! I'm now 16!

Truth is, I can't believe it myself...Indeed time flies fast., and somehow I still managed to see how it went through after 16 years...I can still picture my childhood days in Tagaytay and Baguio...That was when I was around 3 to 5 yrs. old...How I enjoyed going outside to play, and always stuck to my yaya wherever she goes...Honestly, I think my childhood years were the best years of my life so far...My elementary years are also filed in my mind upto now...My days in my previous school when I was still wearing green instead of violet...haha...how funny is that?!? These were the years when I first expeienced simple trials...

How I cried over my grades knowing that my tutor would spank me....Not to mention staying there upto 2 a.m. when I was grade 2.Haha...As I look back on those times these days I find myself laughing at them...Maybe because I felt so immature acting that way...But my life change was most evident when I first stepped into highschool.From 1st year to 2nd year I've seen how I've grown.Especially when it comes to character and spirituality. But my 3rd year has the most drastic change in my life.How I've dealt with my trials were no joke and there were a lot of hardships that I encountered this year and how much I've learned from every experience.And now that I'm already incoming 4th year, I'm really finding life to be as shocking as it can be! More problems that are harder to solve, intrigues and gossips of the people around your school, arguments to deal with, responsibilities and tasks to accomplish, and more difficult life decisions to make.But no matter how many they are, I would not be afraid. For I know that my God would always be there for me no matter what happens. Indeed it's been a life full of colors. Cries,laughs,ups, downs and all...But I'm thankful of one thing...that God was with me all the while through...:-)

Not an Ordinary Saturday

Today was the first day the Chorale rehearsed with their new members...
Somehow, I just expected things to be as the same as last year's...Where we'd have long introductions and discussing of rules...Well, although we also had that today,it was different.
I saw many new faces today.Faces whom I dont expect to be joining the chorale....I was in shock to find out some people whom I dont want to be in...Not that I despise them or anything but I just don't like their attitude cguro...Well anyways, it's fine with me.:-)
Ofcourse the seacrh for the new batch of CMLI (Stephenian Chorale's contest group)
members is ongoing.Somehow I'm worried on whom our conductress would choose.I just hope that these people would know how to get along with others easily.Why you ask?Because it's really important for the members to be in unity with one another.Like a family.It also has something to do with the blending of voices.Complicated but it's true..:-) Ofcourse punctuality, attendance , voice quality and mastery is also required. So I just hope that these people would be able to meet these qualities when they get chosen.(Especially student council people.) Today also was the cleaning of our school bio-garden.It's actually one of the projects of the Rotary Club. I was a member and didn't have any plans in doing the cleaning...but I ended up doing so!haha...Ironic as it may seem...:-) It was really fun though haha..we got to clean the ponds and scrub the algae out haha...tiring but fun...:-) So it's AS IF the day turned out quite nice but sad to say it didn't...Well...most of the unwanted parts of the day happened during the afternoon...We were rehearsing for our final presentation for our P.E. class. Truth is, it already frustrated us weeks now, because we cant get the steps right.We even had to change the last part because our teacher told us to.Unexpectedly, a fight occured between our two members....Long story....and so much more happened but I think it's really not proper to share it for now...other than the argument ofcourse...So much for a topsy-turvy Saturday...

J.S. Program 2007 :-)

Last February 28, 2007...Our annual J.S. Program was held...
I was part of the program during the tribute to seniors (which obviously involves singing...)
There were actually many highlights of the program. Such as the introduction of muses and escorts of the different batches, musical play entitled "God Spell" played by selected 3rd year students, Cotillion de Honor by the year officers, song and dance numbers of both batches and ofcourse the Tribute to the Seniors where pics were shown while the Juniors serenaded them with 5 songs.So much for the events in the program...But even before the big day...so many stories lie behind...Hardships, confusion, cries, nervousness, pressures ,crammed rehearsals...Now wasn't that nerve-wrecking?!? Truth is, we really lacked rehearsals and had no knowledge about the whole thing.Except our parts ofcourse...The pressure was extremely great especially on the Juniors because we had to please our Seniors with the program. Not to mention the extreme pressure we felt during the general rehearsal, because the "SUPERVISOR" as in "MADAME" is going to watch. And we're really afraid that she might have sarcastic comments and would want to change the program. But amazingly with God's grace, everything went well.:-) This is something that would be remembered and kept in my highschool life's memories.:-)
